According to the UNDP, urgent action is necessary to prevent 95 percent of the population in Rakhine from regressing into survival mode by mid-2025. The report highlights that the state's economy has completely faltered, with rice production collapsing due to severe weather, seed and fertilizer shortages, and displacements that have left many unable to farm, greatly exacerbating food insecurity for over two million people at risk of famine.
The Rakhine region, home to the stateless Rohingya community, faces unprecedented disaster as trade has nearly stopped and essential agricultural activities have been crippled. The UNDP's dire projections indicate that without intervention, famine conditions could emerge within two years, underscoring the humanitarian crisis that has been intensified by military restrictions on aid deliveries and assessments that hinder relief efforts for those desperately in need.
